You know when you hear those stories about a builder that has gone bankrupt partway through a build, and you wonder how on earth you would deal with that? Well, today on the podcast you are going to hear from someone who had to navigate that exact situation.




Kirstin Krauskopf, or as she is affectionately known in this episode, “Captain Prepared-o” had a project that started off extremely well. She was super prepared, had all her documentation in order, hired a fantastic builder with a great reputation and everything was going well.




Kirstin built up a great relationship with the site manager, the tradespeople and had negotiated the ability to come onto site once a week. She was across her numbers, knew the spec and felt equipped to handle the build appropriately. Kirstin had also hired an independent building inspector to ensure the build went smoothly.




Over time the number of trades on site started to dwindle and Kirstin became curious as to what was going on. She was asking a lot of questions, and not receiving a lot of answers. It became apparent that things may not be going as well as she had expected.



Tune in today to get the lowdown on how Kirstin handled what turned into a very difficult situation. These things, unfortunately, do happen and Kirstin talks us through how she did it and came out the other side still with a house and a build that she is extremely proud of.
